<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1823439, member: 66&quot;]No.&nbsp; it not ironic, reasonable.&nbsp; The half dollars started slowly disappearing in 1962 and 63 because the value of silver was rising high enough to almost make them worth more as metal than as money.&nbsp; Since they were the largest coins with the most silver they started being hoarded first.&nbsp; In 1964 the silver price finally did exceed the face value so you lost money on every one you spent.&nbsp; Then the clad coins were intro duced and you had the choice, you could spend coins that had a metal value of $1.07 for every $1 in value received, or you could hoard them and spend coins that had a metal value of $.15 for every $1 in value received.&nbsp; Which coins would you spend?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
